Using a combination of participant-observation and semi-structured, person-centered interview techniques, this thesis examines nationalist subjectivities and patriotic sentiment among Chinese university students abroad during the late Xi Jinping era. By approaching this phenomenon from an anthropological, bottom-up approach, this paper concludes that rather than tempering their nationalist sentiment through exposure to other cultures and political systems, time spent abroad actually increases the magnitude and salience of patriotic sentiments, as well as reshapes Chinese nationalist subjectivities in ways that are unique, but whose roots can be found in the social facts and narrative lens imparted during Patriotic Education Campaign initiated by the Chinese Communist Party following the political turmoil of the 1980s, as well as in the lived experiences of Chinese students abroad today. Tracing back to its incipient roots during pre-Dynastic China, this paper contributes to anthropological studies of nationalism by arguing that nationalism, rather than being understood as a broad phenomenon that arises only when certain universal conditions are met, must be understood in a situated, localized context and centered in the lived experiences of everyday people who at once shape, and are shaped by nationalistic narratives and sentiments.
